Railroad overpass at Route 26 (Penn Street), Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Digital photo. Photoshop. (2009)
Project 52, week 25: Crooked. This week I was in Barcelona, city of the Modernistas, and Antoni Gaudi in particular. He was the most famous architect of the Modernisme movement, and is best known for designing the Sagrada Familia, which is still under construction. He also designed the Parc Guell, where this overpass can be found.
The park is something quite different and has very nice views over the city of Barcelona, but can be terribly crowded with tourists, as I've found out. Taking pictures of most of the buildings and statues is quite difficult (or even impossible) with all those people around!
Day
Taking the C-5050Z for a whirl. Turned the noise reduction and dialed it down to ISO 64. Exposures were ranging from 4 to 8 seconds and I wasn't really in the mood for shooting.
Of note, the batteries were dying which I had just replaced a couple of weeks ago! Alright, maybe that was almost 200 shots ago. Time to invest in some rechargable AAs.
Note to self, I should really get my monitors calibrated. The image looks a lot different between my two screens.
Last night I went out with my wife for a photo shoot. The camera she is holding was loaned by a complete stranger - very generous and very trusting.
I was playing with the idea of the camera being turned back on the photographer, without it being a group of self portraits.
